Postdoctoral Researcher

Tamee Albrecht

As a human-environment geographer, Tamee examines issues at the intersection of society and the environment. Her research focuses on environmental governance, climate change adaptation in water governance, and interactions among water, energy, and food resources. Her work occurs at multiple scales, in urban to transboundary contexts.

Anne L. Averill

My current research addresses ecology of native bees in natural and agricultural systems. I am interested in the major stressors on health and how these interact, with a focus on pathogens, pollen and nectar sources, plus impacts of landuse and exposure to pesticides. I am carrying out long-term surveys of native pollinators to assess changes in diversity and abundance, particularly bumble bee species. I am also interested in fundamental and applied aspects of insect-plant interactions, especially those that can inform biointensive, reduced-risk management strategies for pests and conservation

Michael Bank

Michael Bank's research is highly interdisciplinary and has its theoretical basis in Bayesian mathematical modeling, contaminant biology, environmental toxicology, and environmental governance. Specifically, their interests are focused on three principle themes (a) How do contaminants affect organisms, including humans, (b) How can contaminants in ecosystem compartments be modeled using Bayesian statistics and information theory, and (c) How can this information be used in a scientific translation and environmental governance context.
